Chapter 64 Challenge Level 3
Early the next morning, the group marched towards the entrance of the Level 3 gravity chamber with high spirits. As the door of the Level 3 gravity chamber drew closer, Puyang Minghui's legs began to tremble involuntarily, but she did not want to be a burden to the team, so she could only grit her teeth and pretend to be strong as she charged forward, even though her steps unconsciously slowed down.
Chu Qiuchi noticed that Puyang Minghui had fallen behind, turned around and asked her with a smile, "Minghui, are you a little scared? You were very brave yesterday!"
Puyang Minghui looked at everyone and hesitated before speaking, "Qiu Chi, I'm still a little worried. Do we really have to take on this challenge? Just thinking about our last experience makes my whole body ache."
Chu Qiuchi comforted her encouragingly, "Don't worry, we're just going to give it a try. If it's really too difficult, we can of course choose to quit. But now, we need to bravely take this first step." She blinked and continued, "Imagine when we get to the war zone, the soldiers there look at you, this seemingly delicate little girl, and then discover that your physical abilities are even better than theirs—their expressions will be absolutely priceless!" She exaggeratedly imitated the soldiers' surprised expressions, eliciting a burst of laughter from everyone. "At that time, you'll become the focus of attention in the war zone, and you might even gain a bunch of fans!"
Hearing Chu Qiuchi's encouraging words, Puyang Minghui's unease was gradually replaced by determination. She took a deep breath, her eyes shining with resolve, and nodded: "You're right, I can't give up before I've even started. All success comes from relentless effort and challenges! I will definitely make everyone look at me with new eyes!"
Seeing that Puyang Minghui had regained her fighting spirit, Chu Yichen jokingly said with a smile, "Well... let's go. If you can't hold on later, I can lend a hand!"
Puyang Minghui rolled her eyes at him, then said with feigned strength, "No need, you should go help Xingyao! I can definitely do it! If I really can't hold on, I still have Qiuchi!" As she spoke, she tightly grabbed Chu Qiuchi's arm.
Chu Qiuchi smiled as she looked at Puyang Minghui beside her and encouraged her, "Yes, Minghui is the best. Our training intensity is so high, but you have always worked hard and persevered and never fallen behind. You are really outstanding."
Hearing Chu Qiuchi's praise, Puyang Minghui smiled happily: "Qiuchi, this is all thanks to you. I never thought I could overcome so many difficulties. If it weren't for your help and encouragement, I definitely wouldn't be where I am today."
Nalan Xingyao smiled and nodded, "Yes, Minghui, you used to be such a cute and cuddly girl, but now you can punch monsters!"
Hearing Nalan Xingyao's teasing, Puyang Minghui puffed out her chest proudly: "That's right, I'm going to be a super female warrior in the future! I'm going to beat the beastmen so badly that they'll never dare to invade again."
With this unwavering belief, they stepped into the Level 3 gravity chamber together, ready to face new challenges.
Sure enough, the familiar oppressive feeling returned as soon as they stepped into the gravity chamber, pressing everyone firmly to the ground. Fortunately, they reacted quickly and used the force to stabilize themselves; otherwise, they would have been in a truly sorry state. A gravity field 50 times stronger than 20 times stronger is much greater than that, and even though their physical strength had been enhanced, they still felt as if their bones were about to be crushed, making it difficult to breathe.
Chu Qiuchi spoke with difficulty: "Everyone...be careful...don't rush...take it easy...get used to it!" Hearing Chu Qiuchi's words, the others gradually stopped struggling in pain. Although the physical pain was hard to ignore, they still tried to adjust their breathing and slowly adapt to the powerful gravitational pressure.
After a short rest and adjustment, Ji Moyu took the lead in trying to move her arm. Pu Yangminghui, who was next to Chu Qiuchi, was in so much pain that her eyes were filled with tears and her lips were bleeding from being clenched so tightly, but she still moved her arm slowly and tremblingly, without showing any intention of giving up.
Witnessing Puyang Minghui's perseverance, Chu Qiuchi felt a surge of warmth in his heart. As the youngest and cutest member of the team, Puyang Minghui had been pampered at home since childhood. Most of her family members were alchemists or support-type mages like herself, and she was usually the one being protected within the team, rarely experiencing hardship. However, over the years, Puyang Minghui had followed the team in challenging various high-difficulty physical training exercises. From initial discomfort and occasional laziness to her current unwavering perseverance, her growth was undoubtedly the most remarkable in the team.
Chu Qiuchi encouraged softly, "Minghui, you did a great job. Don't give up, we'll take it slowly together." Although her voice trembled slightly due to the pressure of gravity, it was full of strength and confidence, giving Puyang Minghui tremendous support.
As time went on, the group continued to challenge themselves in the gravity chamber, their movements gradually becoming more methodical from initial struggles. Sweat streamed down their foreheads, their muscles trembled from the exertion, but their eyes shone with an indomitable spirit.
Ji Moyu was the first to stand up, his arms rising slowly from the heavy weight like tender sprouts breaking through the soil. His movements were slow but exceptionally firm, each movement a silent battle against gravity.
Chu Qiuchi followed closely behind, her body struggling to adjust its posture under the constraints of gravity, each breath seemingly drawing strength from the surroundings. Her gaze was resolute; though the pain caused her brow to furrow, she did not stop. Slowly, her body began to adapt to the immense pressure.
Although Puyang Minghui was in excruciating pain, her will was exceptionally strong. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she didn't let them fall. She gritted her teeth, and every movement felt like a challenge to her limits. Her whole body trembled, and finally, she managed to sit up, albeit clumsily.
Nalan Xingyao also struggled to adjust her posture. Her cheeks were flushed from the exertion, and sweat streamed down her forehead. Despite her disheveled appearance, every movement she made was resilient and elegant. Her body gradually adjusted in rhythm with her breathing, and finally, she successfully sat up straight, a tired yet satisfied smile appearing on her face.
Chu Yichen seemed to be engaged in a fierce struggle against gravity. Every attempt he made was filled with determination, as if every breath was poured with all his might. In this contest against gravity, his body gradually found its balance point, his muscles tense, and sweat dripped incessantly onto the ground. Finally, he successfully sat up, a victor's smile spreading across his face—a smile of pride and satisfaction after overcoming a difficulty.
Everyone successfully sat up through their own efforts, forming a circle. Although their postures were still a little stiff, each of their faces was filled with a sense of accomplishment. Puyang Minghui was so excited that tears streamed down her face; the tears mingled with sweat, making her look somewhat comical, but no one laughed at her. They all knew how hard-won this moment was, and behind every movement of sitting up lay tremendous effort and perseverance.
After resting for a while, Chu Yichen gently stretched his stiff shoulders and suggested, "Why don't we stop here for today? It's getting late, and we need to hurry up and cultivate afterwards!" His voice was filled with exhaustion.
Puyang Minghui wiped the sweat from her forehead, her eyes gleaming with an indomitable light, and said, "Why don't we hold on a little longer, at least stand up? We can't crawl out of here!" Her words revealed a stubbornness as she tried to adjust her posture, preparing to challenge the constraints of gravity once again.
Hearing Puyang Minghui's words, Chu Yichen scratched his head and gave a helpless smile: "That seems to be true. Well, let's stand up then. It would be too embarrassing to crawl out like that." As he spoke, he reached out to support himself on the ground, preparing to help himself get up.
Nalan Xingyao looked at Puyang Minghui with a hint of admiration in her eyes and said, "I didn't expect our Minghui to be so brave, still wanting to take on the challenge!" She gently patted Puyang Minghui's shoulder to show her support.
Puyang Minghui smiled smugly, stuck out her tongue, and said cutely, "That's right, I've already taken the first step, the rest is just a matter of time!"
Watching their teammates' actions, Chu Qiuchi and Ji Moyu exchanged a determined look and began to try to stand up as well. Inside the gravity chamber, they endured another round of painful struggle, but ultimately, they too successfully stood up, albeit slowly and with great difficulty.
Puyang Minghui's legs trembled, making it almost impossible for her to stand on her own. Fortunately, Ji Moyu and Chu Qiuchi each supported one side of her, which helped her maintain her balance. A grateful smile appeared on her pale face, and despite her extreme exhaustion, her eyes still shone with an indomitable light.
As Nalan Xingyao stood up, she felt a wave of dizziness, as if stars were twinkling before her eyes. She closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and tried to clear her vision. Even so, a determined smile remained on her lips as she signaled to her teammates that she could still persevere. Chu Yichen stood beside her, carefully supporting Nalan Xingyao.
After getting up, the group didn't linger. Supporting each other, they slowly and laboriously moved towards the door. Although the door was only a few steps away, each step felt like it weighed a ton, making each step extremely painful. The moment they finally stepped out of the gravity chamber, everyone felt the pressure on their bodies instantly disappear, and they staggered due to the sudden weightlessness.
Everyone stared at each other's comical antics, momentarily stunned, then burst into laughter. The laughter contained both the relief of releasing stress and admiration for each other's perseverance.
After laughing, Puyang Minghui wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and announced with high spirits, "Let's continue tomorrow!" Everyone looked at her in surprise, as if to say, "Is this still the Puyang Minghui they know?" Ji Moyu also raised her eyebrows in surprise, as if reassessing her courage.
Puyang Minghui felt a little embarrassed by everyone's stares. She waved her hand and said in a lighthearted manner, "Oh, although today was so painful, we persevered in the end, didn't we? Everything is difficult at the beginning. Once we get started, the road ahead will be easier. I believe that a month from now, we will surprise everyone."
After hearing her words, Nalan Xingyao smiled and teased, "Our Minghui has grown up!"
Chu Yichen also teased, "Minghui, you're suddenly working so hard, how are we men supposed to feel about this!"
Chu Qiuchi smiled and encouraged, "Okay, let's continue tomorrow, let's go for it together!"
Puyang Minghui puffed out her chest, pretending to be defiant, and said, "Hmph, don't underestimate me, I'm a rising star! Tomorrow, I'll show you all what I'm capable of!"
Chu Yichen responded with a smile, his tone tinged with a mix of humor and anticipation: "Okay, we're all waiting to see you unleash your power!"
Puyang Minghui feigned anger, pretending to hit him, but her eyes were full of laughter: "Are you saying I'm a tigress, Chu Yichen?"
Upon seeing this, Chu Yichen quickly raised his hands in a gesture of respect, his face plastered with an innocent smile, and said repeatedly, "No, no, you are all goddesses in my heart!" As he spoke, he moved his body backward, seemingly to avoid Puyang Minghui's seemingly angry "attack," which drew continuous laughter from everyone.
Just then, the door to the adjacent Level 2 gravity chamber suddenly opened, and several figures emerged looking disheveled. Chu Qiuchi and the others turned around curiously, only to find familiar faces—Li Rui and his Peerless Overlord Squad from their class. Seeing them sitting at the entrance to the Level 3 gravity chamber, Li Rui asked in surprise, "You guys just came out of the Level 3 gravity chamber? Seriously? So brutal? Minghui too?"
Seeing Li Rui's incredulous expression, Puyang Minghui replied smugly, "That's right, we all went in together!"
Li Rui exclaimed in shock, "No way! We almost died trying to reach level 2, and you bunch of beasts, and you're already at level 3? Even the soft and cute Minghui has turned into a female warrior? Are you all on drugs?" Chu Qiuchi and the others exchanged smiles, thinking to themselves, "Of course they're on drugs."
Chu Qiuchi said, "We've only just started trying it out; it's not that exaggerated."
Li Rui rolled her eyes at Chu Qiuchi and said half-jokingly, "This is no exaggeration. When school started, everyone was at the same level, but now you've already left us far behind! It seems we need to work even harder, or we're afraid we won't be able to catch up later."
Chu Yichen said with a smile, "It won't be easy for you to catch up with us. Good luck! I believe in you!" His words carried a hint of provocation and encouragement, which made Li Rui and his team even more determined to catch up.
After a relaxed conversation, the two teams helped each other and slowly walked towards their respective dormitories. They planned to rest briefly before continuing their training. Through this daily competition, both teams gradually adapted to the gravity field of their respective gravity chambers, and this competition also brought Chu Qiuchi and her team additional pressure and motivation.
A month passed quickly, and Chu Qiuchi and her teammates were already able to perform some simple training movements in the Level 3 gravity chamber. Every small step forward excited them, but what thrilled them even more was that their magical cultivation was about to break through to the level of Grand Magus. This meant that they would soon have the opportunity to leave the academy and embark on a true path of training, and it also meant that they would be able to see a wider world outside.
